INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION
Introduction-Communication is the activity of conveying information. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the sender.

Definition of communication
-Definition Communication is the process whereby speech, signs or actions transmit information from one person to another. This definition is concise and definitive but doesn’t include all the aspects of communication. There are other definitions, which state that communication involves transmitting information from one party to another. This broader definition doesn’t require that the receiving party obtain a full understanding of the message. Of course, communication is better when both parties understand. but it can still exist even without that component. No matter the type or mechanism of communication, every instance of communication must have a message that is being transferred from sender to receiver. In order for communication to be successful, the sender and receiver must have some signs, words or signals in common with each other so the sent message can be understood. The ideal definition of communication is a 2-way interaction between two parties to transmit information and mutual understanding between themselves. The interchange of information from one party to another is best communicated when a discussion is available so the receiver can ask questions and receive answers to clarify the message.

-General definitionThe general definition considers communication as a process of interaction and sharing of meaning, exchanging ideas, opinion or sharing of information either in the form of writing, symbols, sound or speech, transmitted face to face or via the mass media.

Communication requires a sender, a message, a medium and a recipient, although the receiver does not have to be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver understands the sender's message.[citation needed]
Communicating with others involves three primary steps:[4]
Thought: First, information exists in the mind of the sender. This can be a concept, idea, information, or feeling.
Encoding: Next, a message is sent to a receiver in words or other symbols.
Decoding: Lastly, the receiver translates the words or symbols into a concept or information that a person can understand.Communication is the exchange and flow of information and ideas from one person to another; it involves a sender transmitting an idea, information, or feeling to a receiver (U.S. Army, 1983). Effective communication occurs only if the receiver understands the exact information or idea that the sender intended to transmit. Many of the problems that occur in an organization are (Mistry, Jaggers, Lodge, Alton, Mericle, Frush, Meliones, 2008):
◦ the direct result of people failing to communicate
◦ processes that leads to confusion and can cause good...

...﻿COMMUNICATION
The term communication is freely used by everyone in modern society, including members
of the general public, organizational behavior scholars, and management practitioners. In
addition, the term is employed to explain a multitude of sins both in the society as a whole
and in work organizations. Despite this widespread usage, very few members of the general
public—and not a great many more management people—can precisely define the
term. Part of the problem is that communication experts have not agreed on a definition
themselves.
Most definitions of communication used in organizational behavior literature stress the
use of symbols to transfer the meaning of information. For example, one analysis stresses
that communication is the understanding not of the visible but of the invisible and hidden.
These hidden and symbolic elements embedded in the culture give meaning to the visible
communication process.5 Of equal, if not more, importance, however, is the fact that communication
is a personal process that involves the exchange of behaviors and information.
Today, of course, this personal process is not just face-to-face, but is increasingly carried
out electronically through Facebook, MySpace, blogs, wikis, texting, mobile phones, and
e-mail.6 Although associated with emerging Web 2.0 technologies, the still personal
aspects have been noted in no uncertain terms...

...﻿Communication Techniques Used In the Business World
Communication is one of the most important tools in business, necessary to success and advancement. According to the University of Wisconsin Business Alumni Update and the National Commission on Writing, individuals who cannot write and communicate effectively in other ways are not likely to be hired, and, if they are, will not last for promotion. To be hired, successful and eventually advance in business, you must be an effective communicator--verbally, non-verbally, and digitally--and be able to integrate communication types in different settings.
Verbal Communication
Businessmen interact verbally with a variety of people every day--equals, subordinates, supervisors, men and women alike. Verbal communication in business often involves expressing opinions, emotions, giving orders and winning over clients. When doing any of these things, it's important that you maintain a level head, ask questions and back up any opinions you give with hard evidence. A good business verbal communicator is delicate but confident.
For example, you wouldn't say, "Our economic climate has gone right down the drain in the past three years," without backing up the statement with facts, figures and sources. In addition, unless it's essential to winning over a client, controversial opinions like this one should be left out of the workplace. Your personal opinions, if...

...Definitions of communication
The word communication is derived from the Latin word ‘Communus’, which means ‘common’. It is a process of exchange of facts, ideas, and opinions. It is a means by whuch individuals or organizations share meaning and understanding with another. In other words it is the transmission and interaction of facts, ideas, opinions, feelings and attitudes. Thus the exact meaning of the word communication is ‘to share’ or ‘to participate’. The dictionaries say that communication is the transmission of a message or information by speaking or writing. Another dictionary declares that communication is giving or exchanging information, signals, messages by talk or gestures or writing
• According to G.G. Brown Communication is defined as transfer of information from one person to another, whether or not it elicits confidence. But the information transferred must be understandable to the receiver.
• According to Fred G. Meyer “Communication is the exchange of ideas, opinions by words, letters or messages”-.
Thus holistically communication is defined as “giving, receiving or exchanging ideas, information, signals or messages through appropriate media, enabling individuals or groups to persuade, to seek information, to give information or to express emotions”

...Abstract
Effective internal communication plays a significant role in the success of any business. Without a proper channel of communication within the organization, the company will face various operational problems like decrease in sales, increases the turnover rate of employees and unsatisfied customers like SHDE holding is facing now. Therefore it is important to understand the need of internal communication, the barriers affecting it and steps required to improvise the written and oral communication in the organization.
Task 1. How internal communications takes place within the organizations
Introduction:
A communications skill plays an indispensable part for the success of any organization irrespective to their size, geographical location or their vision. Business communication is linked with the internal culture and external image of any organization. Hence it determines what is communicated to whom, by whom and at what level of organization.

...interpersonal communications. Whether the communication is through a working or a personal one, getting the points across effectively is the main goal. Communication is a process of relating ideas or facts with other people. You may think of communication as only verbal, but the fact is there are several ways to relate messages, and I will discuss a few of those choices. Effective listening is also a key skill when it comes to communicating. The purpose is to be able to not just hear the communicator but to listen and understand to the best of your ability. We cannot survive unless there is some type of interpersonal communications.
We need to know why we communicate and there are four reasons:
1. Physical needs: A lack of social relationships could jeopardize your health (Alder, Towne p.4). I have heard through Medical Research that a comatose patience can respond to a familiar voice.
2. Social Needs: Helping to define who we are. Communication provides a vital link with others (Alder, Towne p.4)
3. Identity Needs: Our sense of identity comes from the way we interact with other people (Alder, Towne p.4)
4. Practical Goals: Getting others to behave in ways we want (Alder, Towne p.4).
For whatever reason there is, we can be always be sure there will be a reason to commute a message to another party.
Nonverbal communication is a way of sending messages other than...

...﻿Communication is a connection allowing access between persons or places, through many different objects. It’s an important process of transferring information, and also plays important role in the development of a nation. Societies cannot change and develop without communication, as it is a process of social interaction through which people are influenced by ideas, attitudes, knowledge and behavior of each other.
And why we communicate? We communicate because we want to know each other, we want to find out about other’s emotions, we want to change information, or to convince others to understand our point of view, and to build relations. Communication has attained a great importance in the developmental programs. It is through the process of communication that people are made aware of the nature and objectives of the programs.
There are components which play important role in communication system. The sender, the receiver, the message, and the feedback. The sender, who is the person or entity that first sending a message with the information. And then the receiver who gets the message, tries to encode the message and prepares a proper answer which is called, the feedback. All of the component must synergized to create a good communication.
How to deliver the message so that people could understand what exactly the information is? There are two types or way on delivering the...

...﻿Communication is an important factor that influences the group's behaviour and plays a crucial role to decide whether the group can achieve the goals. It is difficult for us to use a second language when stating our opinion. Poor English speaking make us cannot explain it well and lead to misunderstanding when we planning the activities. According to Urmila (2009) point out that the cross language communication does not always convey exactly what we want to stating and the targeted receiver may receive less of more that what it is intended to convey. However, using the single word or simple sentence to express the idea is one of the skills can help to closing the communication gap (Emerald Insight Staff, 2004). In retrospect it's obviously make sense because we have a clarity expression when doing the ‘blind man move wood game’ while using the simple sentence to stating our intention.
Culture has a profound influence on perceptions of respect, in which respect is communicated across cultures not only for verbal communication but also nonverbal communication (Bailey, 1997: 329). In China, it shows polite manners to look at other when talking with them. However, it is impolite in Pakistan culture that makes our team comes out with conflict. Non-verbal communication is rooted in culture and depends heavily upon cultural knowledge for its effective use and interpretation (Hill, Anne; Rivers,...
